Dennard, a former University of Nebraska standout, was cited in Lincoln after the vehicle was driving was spotted swerving lanes. Per the NFL Network, when Dennard blew into a Breathalyzer, his blood-alcohol level was within the legal limit. From his perspective, police, however, deemed that Dennard didn't blow hard enough to make the test decisive, and also did not administer a follow-up blood test.

A police spokeswoman told the NFL Network that while the details of testing procedure can not be made known, officers can still make an DUI arrest if there is "probable cause."

Meanwhile, the Patriots are paying close attention to Dennard's case, given the fact they just dealt with much more serious incident involving now former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

Hernandez, charged with the first-degree murder of Odin Lloyd, is waiting to stand trial next year. Dennard is set to serve a 30-day jail term starting on March 1 of next year after he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer. That sentence came down last month tied to another incident back in Lincoln.

The Patriots issued a statement regarding Dennard's current troubling situation.

"The New England Patriots are extremely disappointed to learn of Alfonzo Dennard's arrest. We take this matter very seriously and are working to get more information on the incident."
